Wayne Scott has admitted three charges of fraud at York Crown Court, including two cases of posing as wrestler turned movie star Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock.
The 35-year-old, of Highfield Road, Doncaster, is receiving outpatient treatment in the borough for his mental state and is due to be sentenced on June 9.
He admitted pretending to be The Rock when he contacted Everton FC in an attempt to get tickets last July.
Scott also pleaded guilty to posing as the star on July 26 in a bid to get gifts and memorabilia from a member of staff at Manchester United.
He also admitted lying to BT to obtain telephone services in the name of Nigel Usher.
Judge Peter Hunt granted Scott bail on condition of residence at his Doncaster home and on the condition he does not contact any charitable organisations.
He was told all sentencing options remained open.
